Deaf awareness week a great success



Silent Sounds have again led the way when it comes to promoting Deaf awareness week.


Deaf awareness week was between 2nd and 8th of April, and to help promote it, Silent Sounds held awareness events at several key locations in London and throughout the South East of England. 


The events were a great success and we were extremely pleased to have met so many interested members of the public, as well as medical professionals and other key public sector workers. 
I am sure that our efforts have helped to raise the profile of the needs of the deaf community.


We were interested to hear stories of both good and bad deaf awareness from the people that we talked to, and from the feedback that we received, it would seem that the awareness level of the population at large is slowly improving. 


I would like to thank all of the people that helped to make our deaf awareness events so successful, and also to assure the deaf community that we will carry on raising the bar when it comes to raising deaf awareness.
